My mom was recently diagnosed with Dementia with Behavioral Disturbances. My dad is named on all the papers listed above. They are placing her in a rehab and said my dad needs to obtain Guardianship papers over her. I thought the DPOA would cover him making all the decisions about her healthcare and financials? I am probably jumping to soon to even ask. Cause they have not moved her yet. I am trying to protect both my parents.

Unfortunately he may have to, if she is not cooperating or demanding to leave.We had to do this with MIL when she insisted she was going to take a cab home. Figure $3K if it is uncontested. From what you say, the court evaluator will most likely agree with and support the petition.
